Core G: History book list; what we read and added in.
Creation Through 1600's
Ancient History
Middle Ages
Medieval History
Renaissance
If you need a list of some book options to slip into your Sonlight Core G, broken down by scheduled week, here is a list I am working on. Some times SL will schedule a book that you know won't fit into your lessons, and you want to find a replacement---this list may help. I know my Dd gets tired of so many male main characters, and wants a few female main characters---or perhaps they don't clip with a specific book and really want to drop it. Hope this list may help someone; I know I love book lists like this!!! This is only the "history" books we read with this core, week by week, I didn't include literature, bible, or fun books.
